• Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding
capacity, but instead it increases wear on the machine and the sanding sheet.
• Use only the tip or an edge of the sanding sheet for precise sanding of edges,
corners and hard to reach areas.
• When selectively sanding on one spot, the sanding sheet can heat up considerably.
Remove the tool from the surface periodically to permit the sanding sheet to cool
down.
• A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other
